Update on Federal Tax Reform Legislation Status

by Kelly Chezum

Sent on behalf of Kelly Chezum <%20kchezum(a)clarkson.edu>, VP for External Relations and Kerop Janoyan <kjanoyan(a)clarkson.edu>, Dean of the Graduate School Colleagues and Graduate Students, The most recent proposed Federal Tax Reform legislation has generated much discussion among faculty, staff and graduate students about the impact on the higher education sector. While the legislation can still be fluid until it is voted upon by both the House & Senate, and signed by President Trump, what we have now as information from the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities on what has been presented is as follows for what was retained, meaning no changes to their current status: *Student Aid & Family Benefits* · Student Loan Interest Deduction was RETAINED. · The American Opportunity Tax Credit was RETAINED · Lifetime Learning Credit was RETAINED · IRC Sec. 117(d)5 graduate student tuition remission benefits were RETAINED. · IRC Sec. 117(d) college employee tuition remission benefits were RETAINED. · IRC Sec. 127 – employer-provided tuition assistance – was RETAINED. *Charitable Giving & Institutional Benefits * The Charitable Deduction was RETAINED, however, the overall effects of the other tax rate reductions may influence charitable giving so the impact is still unknown. The IRA Charitable Rollover was RETAINED. A new Endowment Tax on certain private colleges and universities using the Senate formula of $500,000 per FTE was ADDED. The tax itself was LOWERED from the original proposed 2% to 1.4%. Through six rewrites from its original introduction in the House, the tax transitioned from affecting 250 private colleges to affecting approximately 32 private colleges. Based on the size of our endowment and the number of students we have, Clarkson is not among those 32 institutions at this time. In other legislative proposals, it may be prudent to continue to understand and be aware of what is included in the PROSPER Act, which reauthorizes the Higher Education Act last updated in 2008 (Read More Here <http://www.acenet.edu/advocacy/Pages/Higher-Education-Act.aspx> with links from the American Council On Education) as it again has some provisions that will change how federal work study and financial aid is administered to students including borrowing limits on federal loans. You may also be following the next steps following the FCC decision to end net neutrality and sharing your opinion with your elected officials. New York State is among those States that has been reported on its plan to sue the FCC over the decision. If you have questions, please feel free to reach me. Your opinion and voice to your representatives <https://whoaremyrepresentatives.org/> matters most. Thanks and enjoy the holidays. Kelly Chezum, VP for External Relations kchezum(a)clarkson.edu Kerop Janoyan, Dean of the Graduate School kjanoyan(a)clarkson.edu

Federal Legislative Season Greetings - Ways to Contact your Representatives

by Kelly Chezum

Federal Legislative Season Greetings, In my role as VP for External Relations, a number of Clarkson faculty and staff have approached me about how to contact federal representatives regarding the various bills and legislative actions occurring in Washington DC right now. The easiest and most effective way to reach them is via phone. The numbers as well as e-mail addresses and forms are at https://whoaremyrepresentatives.org/ to express your opinion directly. These are a number of issues under immediate review that are good to be on our radar as members of the higher education community. Your individual opinions and experiences on how these issues impact you, our students and our sector do matter to our elected officials. As part of a major Federal Tax Reform initiative to rewrite the USA tax code, there are numerous changes being proposed that will lead to personal financial changes for students, families and our employees, including the graduate students who receive benefits for teaching and research work done at the University. These are still “in committee” being hashed out so not a done deal*.* The American Council on Education keeps it comprehensive, easy-to-read digest <http://www.acenet.edu/Pages/Higher-Education-and-Tax-Reform.aspx#tabContent…> of the proposed changes up to date and includes ways to express your opinion with various links. Congress is moving quickly to also move PROSPER forward (Promoting Real Opportunity, Success, and Prosperity through Education Reform), which is a bill to reauthorize the Higher Education Authorization Act last updated in 2008. The mark up of the bill begins today at 10am --- again there are a number of proposed changes that will impact the availability of aid to our undergraduate and graduate students, and we understand there may be amendments proposed on the mobility of transfer credits across the sector. Graduate students in the current proposed version could lose work-study eligibility and have limits placed on federal loans. Read more <http://www.acenet.edu/news-room/Pages/ACE-Other-Higher-Education-Groups-HEA…> . Another item of particular interest is the topic of net neutrality. Net neutrality is the principle that Internet service providers must treat all data on the Internet the same, and not discriminate or charge differently by user, content, website, etc. The FCC has said it will vote on whether to keep or repeal these protections on December 14th. This could result in Internet traffic to/from the University being relegated to 'slow lanes' unless the University pays for prioritization of its traffic. For more on this topic, please see this statement released by EDUCAUSE, the American Library Association, the American Council on Education and others: https://library.educause.edu/~/media/files/library/2014/7/epo1305_1-pdf.pdf . The FCC can be reached at 1-888-CALL FCC (225-5322), with option #5 on this issue. If you have questions, please feel free to reach me as well. Your voice to your representatives <https://whoaremyrepresentatives.org/> matters most. ** *Kelly O. Chezum, MBA ’04, DLP* *Vice President for External Relations | Clarkson University * Box 5500 | 8 Clarkson Avenue | Room 333 Cora & Bayard Clarkson Science Center Potsdam, New York 13699 Office: 315.268.4483 | Cell 315.345.5454 | chezumk(a)clarkson.edu Meetings By Appointment at Capital Region Campus 80 Nott Terrace | Schenectady, NY 12308 The important thing is not to stop questioning. - Albert Einstein

Re: [CU Discussion] Hair Dressing Equipment

by Gina LaPointe

Hi Sue, It would be most appropriate if the School of Business handle the selling of these items. I have recently posted things on Craigslist for off-campus selling and I have used General_Discussion(a)lists.clarkson.edu for items for University use only. When money is exchanged, the individual simply writes a check to Clarkson University and we take the check with deposit slip to the cashier in Graham. The items may have to be moved to another location until they sell. Since these items have limited interest, you might want to just call around to salons in the area...I think I would consider North Country This Week, too! Hope that helps.

Weekend Reading on Federal Tax Proposals - Ways to Reach Representatives

by Kelly Chezum

Colleagues, As part of a major Federal Tax Reform initiative to rewrite the USA tax code, there are numerous changes being proposed that will lead to personal financial changes for students, families and our employees, including the graduate students who receive benefits for teaching and research work done at the University. The American Council on Education has provided a comprehensive, easy-to-read digest <http://www.acenet.edu/Pages/Higher-Education-and-Tax-Reform.aspx#tabContent…> of the proposed changes being debated in Congress now and it would make for prudent review this weekend by all of us who care about understanding issues that may impact access to education for our students, leveraging our grants and university resources, and how we plan as individuals based on our employee and/or student benefits. These proposals are under active consideration now by your Congressional representative and could be moving to final stages of negotiation as early as next week. Please refer to this landing page <http://www.acenet.edu/Pages/Higher-Education-and-Tax-Reform.aspx#tabContent…> and the categories for families, campus employees, university endowments, etc. ( http://www.acenet.edu/Pages/Higher-Education-and-Tax-Reform.aspx#tabContent… ). Some of us may also be getting communications on these issues through our professional associations like CUPA-HR <https://cupahr.informz.net/informzdataservice/onlineversion/ind/bWFpbGluZ2l…> , NACUBO <http://www.nacubo.org/Initiatives/Tax_Reform.html> and NAICU <https://www.naicu.edu/policy-advocacy/tax-policy>, etc. to further inform our understanding of the pros and cons of any change in tax code. Many of the links above include ways to contact representatives and join social media campaigns if you have concerns, questions or want to engage in sharing your personal opinion outside of university business. You may also look up your House and Senate representatives phone number and Websites with contact forms via https://whoaremyrepresentatives.org/ and express your opinion directly.

New Drawing Club Looking for Members

by Patricia Lane

Drawing as Meditation A new Drawing Club is looking for a few more members. The first meeting will be held on Thursday, Sept. 28, at 5 pm in the Science Center. The club is open to everyone – both beginners and experienced artists (and everyone in between) -- but space is limited. We will be following (at least for the first year) the book “The Drawing Club of Improbable Dreams: How to Create a Club for Art” by Cat Bennett. Cat says, “Our goal is to explore openly rather than try to make finished pieces of art . . . to experiment, try out new ways of drawing, and make some good mistakes . . . The exercises are designed so that we don’t know how things will turn out until we do them . . . Drawing can be a meditation, a place to simply be. Most of us find this to be a very peaceful practice. In this peaceful state we can begin to watch our minds and notice the thoughts that appear. We can gently let the ones that aren’t helpful go and return our focus to drawing.” If this sounds like something you would like to explore, please contact me by email. Thanks! Pattie -- Patricia Lane Editorial Assistant Clarkson University Marketing & External Relations Box 5535, 8 Clarkson Avenue Potsdam, NY 13699 315-268-6739 <(315)%20268-6715> plane(a)clarkson.edu

The Department of Chemistry & Biomolecular Science is sad to announce that Dr. Stanka Kratovil passed away on Sunday, September 9, 2017. Dr. Kratohvil was a Clarkson University Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Department of Chemistry & Biomolecular Science from 1967 to 1993. Along with her husband, Dr. Josip Kratohvil, Emeritus Professor of Chemistry at Clarkson, Stanka has been a member of the Clarkson family for many years. Our thoughts and best wishes are sent to Professor Kratohvil and his children and grandchildren. *STANKA KRATOHVIL* *Dr. Stanka Kratohvil, 89, of Potsdam, NY passed away at her home on September 9, 2017. * *Stanka was born on May 30, 1928 in Zagreb, Croatia to Ivo and Irma Babic. She attended public schools in Zagreb. She received her bachelor’s degree in Chemistry at the University of Zagreb in 1952 and her doctoral degree in Physical Chemistry in 1956. She served as a junior faculty member at the University of Zagreb for several years. * *In 1952, she married Josip Kratohvil. Together they immigrated to the United States in 1960. For 25 years, she worked at Clarkson University as a research chemist.

Wilke Featured on German Public Radio

by Michael P. Griffin

Associate Professor of Psychology Andreas Wilke, a cognitive psychologist, was featured in an interview <http://www.swr.de/swr2/programm/sendungen/matinee/gespraech-mit-dr-das-gese…>, yesterday, on Germany's SWR <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCdwestrundfunk> (Southwest Broadcasting), a regional public broadcasting corporation serving southwest Germany. During the 12-minute interview on the SWR2 Matinee <http://www.swr.de/swr2/programm/sendungen/matinee/swr2-matinee-19-februar-2…> program, Wilke discussed his research on the "law of the series," also known as a "hot-hand phenomenon." The hot hand phenomenon refers to the expectation of "streaks" in sequences of hits and misses whose probabilities are, in fact, independent -- such as coin tosses or basketball shots. Wilke, a native of Germany, pre-recorded the interview in German from the studios of North Country Public Radio. Listen to the interview at http://www.swr.de/swr2/programm/sendungen/matinee/gespraech-mit-dr-das-gese… . View a video about Wilke's research at https://youtu.be/weU7Jc6w_1k.

Massena Airport Service - Considering Destinations to Albany, Boston, Buffalo and Baltimore

by Kelly Chezum

Colleagues, We know many people travel in /out of Potsdam on different modes of transportation and when travelling by air, consider several different options. The Town of Massena is currently reviewing two proposals by airlines to provide air service from Massena International Airport to regional air service hubs. The current supplier has three daily roundtrips to Albany with connecting service to Boston on nine-passenger Cessna aircraft. The same carrier also offers flights to Albany with connections to Boston via the Ogdensburg Airport. The Town of Massena is also considering a provider (may be an alternative provider) with nine-passenger planes that has offered to fly two direct routes, with the Town needing to choose two choices from among the list of Albany, Boston, Buffalo or Baltimore. The Town Council will be holding a public meeting on Nov. 30 at 5:30 p.m. in Room 30 on the second floor of the Massena Town Hall, 60 Main St.. If you would like to submit comments to me about the likelihood you would use the Massena Airport with these destinations, including naming the two direct destinations you would most likely choose to use, I will be collecting wider feedback from Clarkson and sending a summary to the Town Supervisor. Your response to me by November 29 would be appreciated. Please let me know if you have further questions or comments. Thanks. Kelly ** *Kelly O.

Our Clarkson Inn Wins ‘Best to the Guest’ Tourism Excellence Award from County Chamber

by Michael P. Griffin

Contact Brooke Rouse Director, St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce 315-386-4000 brouse(a)stlawrencecountychamber.org *WINNERS ANNOUNCED FOR FIRST ANNUAL ST. LAWRENCE COUNTY TOURISM AWARDS* *Clarkson Inn and Hammond Barn Quilt Trail to be recognized for their excellence at May 11th Awards Dinner* The 1st Annual St. Lawrence County Tourism Awards Dinner will be held on Wednesday, May 11 at Bella Brooke Vineyard in Hammond. The event, which is presented by the St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce, is designed to celebrate the growing tourism industry in the County, recognize and reward excellence, encourage the highest standard in visitor experience and emphasize the value of the tourism sector. The Clarkson Inn in Potsdam has been named as the recipient for the ‘Best to the Guest’ Tourism Excellence Award. This award is presented to the individual, business or organization that has been recognized for providing an excellent guest experience. Customer service, unique offerings, and attention to detail make this awardee stand out in the industry. Restaurants, guides, lodging, and attractions are recognized based on referral reputation in the community and online reviews from guests. The forty-room boutique hotel, located on the banks of the Raquette River in downtown Potsdam was nominated by several community members, and has tremendous guest reviews across popular sites such as TripAdvisor and Expedia. The second award will recognize the Hammond Barn Quilt Trail, for Best Destination Marketing Initiative. This award is presented to the individual, business or organization that has devised and implemented the most outstanding tourism marketing campaign or initiative to raise awareness and attract visitors to St. Lawrence County. New programs, bundling of experiences and multi-media communication delivered with creativity, innovation, production quality and effectiveness will be recognized. The Hammond Barn Quilt Trail is a community-organized effort to increase visitation to a rural part of the County stretching from the St. Lawrence River to Black Lake. Organizers energized community members, with enthusiastic support from the Town and Village boards, to create and place over 30 barn quilts in their first year, created a brochure and map using a professional designer, hosted a grand opening event with bus tours, created short videos, launched a website and have engaged partners across the region to highlight this unique trail, which they hope will connect to Barn Quilt Trails across the Country. In addition to awardees, the theme of the Tourism Awards Dinner is ‘Trails to Tourism’ and will give a snapshot of various trail initiatives in the county, such as the Raquette River Blueway, County Multi-Use Trails and the new St. Lawrence Wine Trail. Updates on tourism initiatives and impacts will be shared with attendees. All are welcome to the celebration at Bella Brooke Vineyard, 2989 County Road 6 in Hammond, NY. Happy hour in the tasting room is at 5pm, followed by a buffet dinner and program in the new barn venue at 6pm. The cost is $35 per person or $260 for an eight-person table. Reservations are required by Friday, May 6th by calling 315-386-4000 or visiting the calendar on www.northcountryguide.com or directly at http://tinyurl.com/SLCTourism16. Payment by credit card, check or cash. Tourism businesses and visitors centers are encouraged to come at 4pm with boxes of marketing materials to swap at the Brochure Exchange, which will be held in the parking lot next to the Vineyard. The St. Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce is a 500 member organization, contracted by St. Lawrence County to serve as the tourism promotion agent, in partnership with Empire State Development’s I LOVE NY tourism program. -- Brooke E.
